What New York clients say we are known for
Across 22 published New York appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, how much research is visible in the report, and that they would hire us again.
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
I needed to have a car appraised, AppraiseItNow got it done quickly and was super responsive about my questions. Whole thing was done online, very easy!
Car Appraisal for Probate
I was very happy with the work put in on my totaled car appraisal. They did the appraisal quickly and VERY thoroughly. I felt like my insurance company gave a very low appraisal and Appraise It Now was very competitive, realistic and true to my expectations. The best part was they did a stellar job negotiating with my insurance company. I feel great about their work.
Auto Appraisal for Insurance Claim
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
We were amazed at their professionalism in working with us and the quality of the final appraisal report. And all for thousands less than other appraisers.
Tractor Appraisal for Charitable Donation
They appraised an older trailer for me that required a bonded title. They were great with communication and it only took about 2 weeks to get a very nice detailed appraisal report, which finding comps for older trailers is not straight forward. Highly recommend!
Trailer Appraisal for Title Bond
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
A truck valuation guide baseline, such as the NADA Commercial Truck guide or Truck Blue Book, tested against current comparable listings on Truck Paper and recent auction results. Best practice looks for ten to twenty matching trucks by year, make, model, and spec, then confirms with several auction sales before settling on a number.
Mileage, engine and transmission configuration, emissions equipment, and documented condition. We collect the VIN, spec details, and maintenance file, then adjust guide and comparable values for major component replacements, prior damage, and upfits. Owners who cannot substantiate a rebuild or emissions retrofit typically lose value the records would have supported.
Generally the date the divorce action was commenced. New York follows equitable distribution, and courts typically value marital assets as of commencement, though a judge may select another date for particular assets. An appraisal tied to the operative date keeps a work truck or fleet unit from being divided on outdated numbers.
Sometimes. New York's exemption scheme under the CPLR protects certain personal property using county based exemption amounts, so the appraised value of a work truck can determine whether it sits inside a debtor's exempt property basket or is exposed to levy. In those files the report has to state the value definition and the market evidence plainly, because the number decides the outcome.
